There has been some loose rock falling on the left hand side of the Minus Ten wall at Stoney Middleton, a couple of metres left of the route Minus Ten.

I was short on time today so only had chance for a quick look, I removed the obviously really loose stuff but there is more unstable rock to the right of where the old route Minus Wall goes, just below the top of the crag. The '87 guide book describes it as creaky, but with the cold winter (and also the vegetation) it is now very unstable.

I called Henry Folkard (BMC Access Rep) and will be removing any dangerously loose stuff in the morning.

If anyone wants to give me a hand I'll be up there around 9am.

I'm sure there will be some comments about the fact much of Stoney is falling down, but since many people boulder here I thought it was worth mentioning.
